Pan-African Congress

The Pan-African Congress gathered a total of six times from 1900 to 1945. During these meetings, political leaders from Africa, Europe, and North America would discuss the state of Black people. During the fourth Pan-African Congress, which was held in New York City on this day in history, the topic of colonialism in Africa was raised. After the 200 delegates in attendance sang Lift Ev’ry Voice (the Black National Anthem), the debate about the colonial occupation of Africa, began.
The Congress resulted in a couple of demands that were designed to benefit the Black community. First, they wished to uphold the agreed upon notions that took place during the first three Congresses. Those notions were to essentially enforce democracy in order to give the Black community an equal status to non-Black communities and to unite all members of the African diaspora. The delegates at the fourth Pan-African Congress also demanded complete independence for Egypt.

Pan-Africanism

What is Pan-Africanism? Many have viewed it as a movement based on nationalism and hatred for other races. That is the exact opposite of what it truly is. Pan-Africanism is a movement that encourages bonds between all people of African descent. Where other Pan-racial groups may project hatred for other races, Pan-Africanism merely aims to gain equality for Black people.

Represent

Belonging to the African diaspora is an honor but it also means that we have an obligation. We have an obligation to support one another and build each other up. It is our duty to propel the Black community forward. If you’re a proud observer of Pan-Africanism, then it’s time to represent your colors. Here are four items you need in order to represent the red, the black, and the green.

‘Reparations Now’
